New data shows 4 million children in the UK are living in poverty. These figures don’t yet reflect the impact of the new Child Poverty Strategy, but scrapping the two‑child limit will make a real difference. There’s still more to do, but long‑term action can ensure every child has the best start.

Alongside colleagues from across the House, I've written to the PM calling for the 2-child benefit cap to be abolished. The evidence is now overwhelming - it entrenches poverty, punishes families for their circumstances & undermines the futures of thousands of children.

Children and young people account for roughly a quarter of the UK population. Yet, only 5% of the total health research funding is dedicated to their needs. This must change if we are to address the growing health inequalities faced by children across the UK.
